They are entered by playing an actual note and of course you can adjust the octave range, length of note, time sig, and various latch/hold and ability to add new notes in real time, essentially "playing the arp" just as DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard has. Of course there's the high/low note priority, et al that you would expect as well as random. I have the Blofeld Keyboard but the Blofeld Desktop operates same way with attached midi controller but the Desktop does NOT have a 5-pin DIN Midi Out, only the Midi IN so on THAT NOTE, although I do not use USB 2.0 with Blofeld Keyboard and would actually recommend the Keyboard over the Module because MOST of the "bugs" on Blofeld seem to be USB related because as a 'cost-saving measure', Waldorf did not properly 'shield' the USB, at least definitely on the Desktop Blo, meaning dependence on MIDI over USB 2.0 for a live set-up for two way communication could prove cumbersome. The work-around is some sort of 'Ferrite isolator for USB', and that's all I honestly know regarding that and was determining factor on getting the Blofeld Synth after also realizing same exact Fatar keys I love on Virus KC and DSI MEK, as the after touch is so damn responsive. What is it with **some companies** skimping on their implementation of USB when the aforementioned module version would DEPEND on such for efficient and trouble free communication? Kind of akin to Access finding it somehow more logical rather than pragmatic, to use USB 1 for the Ti series, which again, VC **DEPENDS** upon full efficient use of bandwidth???
What I have read thus far and watched, the Analog Four's ARP grid/note editor is the way it should be in that it's very visual on the screen, providing people understand how to read notes as they appear on sheet music and the destination of number representing it's octave position.
Elektron made a POINT to mention they cut no corners and their USB port IS fully isolated electrically and shielded EFI/EMI. Sorry, sent this prematurely as studio cat decided my arm was something to apparently be stalking for last few minutes!!
